I'm getting dizzy watching the Celtics, the Red Sox during time outs, the Bruins on my phone game cast. My fiancee is about to get home and be thrilled that I’m using the TV, her iPad, and my iPad to watch the games and have yet to make dinner

Casas hit an identical one in Hartford a couple of years back. I was sitting right under where both balls went out.

Ok it worked but stealing third there seems like an unnecessary risk lol

That Devers home run somehow wouldn’t have been out at Camden. They made that LF hell it's also really ugly in an otherwise beautiful park I know it sucks. I love Camden and have some awesome memories there (part of my family is from MD)

He’s been serviceable. Roughly league average xERA. 86th %ile hard hit but 1 %ile whiff. Could be a lot worse though You just described a serviceable 4 starter for a guy that should be AAA depth that's fantastic I agree definitely a big win. I meant to show that he’s not necessarily getting super lucky, albeit that he’s also not what his 2.34 ERA says he is.

They've been getting lucky in the Criswell starts. I like him as depth/spot starter, but fear that since we will be relying on him for a while now that that may not look so good soon. Have they been getting that lucky? He pounds the zone and nobody's really squaring him up He’s been serviceable. Roughly league average xERA. 86th %ile hard hit but 1 %ile whiff. Could be a lot worse though

If they don’t get Garrett Cooper I just don’t get it
And if Yoshida is falling out of favor then he might still be nice to have as a DH option after Casas returns

8 batters for the Guardians - 7 of them hit the ball >90 mph, the other one was hit by pitch, and zero runs so far lol Yeah I was just thinking 32 pitches certainly isn’t bad, but I’m still not looking forward to their second time through and definitely can’t let Criswell face them a third.

Wong is chasing way too much this year but it’s worth noting that his ZContact is almost 90% and is 80% for his career. Hopefully a sign of him adjusting to MLB pitching to some extent.

Being in this organization is the most dangerous job on earth right now. It’s like I’m watching the Hunger Games.

The defensive shuffling probably hasn't helped him at the plate - the burden of carrying a lousy infield defense when you've spent a lot more time in recent years in the outfield has to be tough, and it's probably a distraction at a time when he needs as few as possible to work it out in the box. I kind of disagree. I think his defensive versatility is the only thing giving him any confidence right now and he looks comfortable in the field. I think he’s just swinging out of his shoes and trying to correct the course of his season in every swing.

Rafaela needs to see one or two go out for a confidence boost. Even with his bad approach his quality of contact is way down from ST. I think he’s off, pressing, and inexperienced. That’s not a great combo, but I think he deserves some patience. I’m not expecting him to be Pedroia, and not everyone has it figured out after 200 PA.

We can still savage the night by acquiring Garrett Cooper, Craig. I know you can hear me.

Yeah that’s what Rafaela needs to do. Give them a free strike with a bunt attempt
